If you start to focus on your opponent then you see so much quality in your opponents and weaknesses in your own side. You start to put doubts in your mind. You need to respect your opponents but that's it, no more.

Tottenham tried to sign me but I held off and came to Arsenal because Arsene Wenger was here.

I don't play anymore because I can't play anymore and I retired when I was playing for Chelsea because the doctor had to cut my leg in two parts so this is why I retired. I started going to the gym recently and my knee started to hurt again, so you can imagine what it would be like if I tried to play! I play football on the beach with my daughters and my friends but that's it.

France is hypocritical and cowardly. I sometimes think that, having been invaded by the Germans, we'd be run better today.

I'd like to be a dog. Dogs are nice. They can sleep any time, they wag their tails and on top of that they can get stroked all the time.

At Arsenal me and Patrick (Vieira) didn't want to face Scholes. We would avoid him.
